Liam: So um... I enrolled our names. And we may have tough competition.
Harry: Let's not stress about it too much. We do what we do.
Zayn: I heard Mr. Winston is judging.
Niall: Maybe we should not go.
Harry: What? Why?
Niall: I dont know...I have a bad feeling about this.
Liam: Well its only next week. So we have a lot a time to practice. And I think it will be really useful.
Niall: Whatever. I gotta go guys. Bye. (Leaves)
Zayn: Ni wait for me! (Gives Harry a 'sorry' look;Leaves)
Harry: (nods at Zayn) Um Li?
Liam: Yeah?
Harry: Did you and Niall fight or something?
Liam: (sighs) Yeah Haz... And it's my fault really. I said some things... (looks at Harry) I shouldn't have.
Harry: (throws an arm around Liam) Aw Li you know he'll come around.
Liam: (smiles) Thanks Haz. Bye.
Harry: (sighs) Bye Liam.

Later at Harry's house,

Louis: Well I think that's enough for today.
Harry: Yeah...
Louis: Harold? Why the long face?
Harry: What? Nothing.
Louis: Oh come on I'm not stupid.
Harry: I never said you were.
Louis: Harry what's the matter?
Harry: (bites his bottom lip; sighs) I just... I don't know what's the problem between my friends.
Louis: (acts oblivious) Um... What happened?
Harry: I have no idea. But I cak sense the tension. Niall doesn't talk to Liam. Liam is always sporting a sad expression and Zayn just acts weird. (Groans) And it feels like I'm the one who doesn't understand what's going on.
They're my only friends...(keeps his face in his hands; quitely) they're all I have...
Louis: (scoots closer; throws an arm around Harry slowly rubbing circles in his back) Haz... it's probably some problems they're facing... you know, um maybe they're feeling certain things... (tries to hint). But it'll work out. Your friends love you.
Harry: (looks at Louis; gets aware of their closeness; not that he doesn't like it...infact he loves this more than he should so ofcourse he moves away). Um... yeah that's that.
Louis: (mildly disappointed; but has become accustomed to Harry running away) Yeah..uh..(scrathes his back) I should go.
Harry: (eager) I'll walk you.
Louis: (smiles) Okay...

THE DAY BEFORE THE FACE OFF:

At lunch:

Luke: So... you been spending a lot of time with 1D.
Louis: (eating) Hmm? Oh! No. Just Harry and Niall.
Luke: Which is bad in itself.
Louis: (raises an eyebrow) Why?
Luke: (says as a-matter-of-factly) Becoz... we'll be kicking their asses tomorrow.
Louis: (sighs) Luke I told you I'm not using my powers.
(Mumbles) And I don't think you are going to kick their asses.
Luke: (hits him in the arm) I heard that!
Louis: (laughs) I don't know why you guys hate each other so much.
Luke: Well Becoz...um...(scratches his head)
Louis: See you have absolutely no reason.
Luke: (sighs) Look I know, you're right. I don't hate them. Not even Harry. (Louis scoffs) It's true! It's not his fault Mike likes him. Its just...too much fun to hate each other. (Shrugs)
Louis: (laughs).

1D: (at the ground)

Liam: Okay we just gotta be ourselves. We'll win most probably.
Betty: Um.. I better get going guys. Gotta get my costume ready. Niall you coming?
Niall: Yeah babe. Bye guys..(hugs Harry and Zayn, gives Liam a look; leaves)

Walking home..
Harry: All the best for tomorrow. Get your gears ready. Byee...
Zayn: (hugs Harry) Bye Haz... I'll text you. (Harry leaves)
Liam: (averts his eyes)
Zayn: Li? Are you coming?
Liam: Mm.
Zayn: (raises an eyebrow) Is something wrong?
Liam: No.
Zayn: (Gets closer) Are you sure? You seem off...
Liam: (harshly) No Zee I'm absolutely fine. Now will you fucking leave me alone?
Zayn: Wow Okay. Forgive me for my concern. Douche. (Walks away).
Liam: (groans) Fuck.

At Harry's house:

Louis: Oh No please.(Groans) Jesus save me.
Harry: Last one Last one! Okay so why did the monkey ask the Giraffe Why the long face?
Louis: Because the giraffe had a long face?
Harry: No... (starts chuckling) Because it thought that its neck was its face. (Starts laughing).
Louis: (gives him a look) That, Is by far, the worst joke
I've ever heard! Congratulations. I'm officially dead now.
Harry: (hits him) Oh.. shut up. You're just jealous that you don't have my sense of humor.
Louis: (looks up and raises his hands praising God) And for that I'm eternally thankful.
Harry: (throws the remote at him)
Louis: (ducks and shows his tongue)
Harry: (tackles him on the couch; looks at Louis in the eye)
Louis: (breath hitches; stops struggling)
Door Bell rings...
Harry: (woken from his trance; quickly walks to the door; opens it)
Liam: Hey...
Harry: (confused) Li? Um what're you doing here?
Liam: (sadly) What I can't come here whenever I want to?
Harry: (smiles) Come in you idiot. (Pulls him in)
Liam: (looks at Louis sitting in the couch) Oh Hi! (Scratches his head; to Harry) Didn't know you had company.
Harry: Oh.. uh... it's just for the project Li. You're the one who told me to take it seriously.
Louis: (heart sinks a little; he expected that Harry would call him his friend; but no. Louis was only a project partner) Um.. I can leave if you want to talk in private... (walks out the door)
Harry: (follows him) Wait! Um... I'll walk you back.
Louis: No Harry. It's really fine. I mean we've almost finished the project. So...uh you don't have to bother walking me anymore.
Harry: Louis I-
Louis: (fake smiles) Goodbye Harry. (Leaves)
Harry: (sighs) Bye...

Liam and Harry:

Harry: So... what's up?
Liam: Is everything alright?
Harry: (sighs) I don't know. (Sits next to him) You tell me.
Liam: (sighs) I'm sorry Haz.
Harry: (confused) For what?
Liam: (partially lies) Um... it's my fault Niall is angry.
Harry: I don't know what happened between you guys. But...(exhales) please fix it Li. (Pleads) Say you're sorry. I'm sure Niall will come around.
Liam: I asked him many times Harry. (Sighs) I'll try again. Gosh I'm a horrible person.(covers his face) Zayn's angry with me too.
Harry: (throws an arm around Liam) Hey... you know Zee. He loves you.
Liam: (scoffs) okay.
Harry: (rubs his back) Li... I know for a fact that he loves you.
Liam: (looks at Harry; sighs) I'll talk to him after the competition.
Harry: Yeah... Go to his house. You're not a horrible person Li.
Liam: (almost tears up; hugs Harry)
Harry: (tenses up)
Liam: You know I love you right? Even though we fight all the time, you're like my little brother. I love you Harry.
Harry: (sighs) I know Li. I know.
Liam: (gets up) Oof Okay! Get some sleep. And please don't fuck up tomorrow.
Harry: (grins) That's the Liam I know. Thank God I was worried you'd start acting all lovey dovey on me all the time.
Liam: Oh No! That was just a moment of weakness. I won't be able to survive an hour without arguing with you.
Harry: (grins) Me too.
Liam: (smiles) Bye Haz... (sternly) Go to sleep.
Harry: Yes dad.
